Another 26 Things . . .

A few months ago, I posted a challenge that I found on another site. My way of thinking of it is that it's a "practice in photo journalism" challenge. They give a list of words and you are supposed to take 1 picture of each. As a scrapbooker, I make an additional challenge of using the photo and the word for a LO. This time around, I am using more than 1 photo on a LO to show my complete idea. That wouldn't qualify for the "one word" challenge on the site, but on a LO, think of the main photo as the "one photo" challenge, and any other pics as "supporting" photos. This weekend is OSU's weekend crop, and this is one of the challenges I am hostessing. I am posting my photos here, with my journaling ideas, in the hopes that these will all become LOs someday soon!These words are from this site:

mess - this is a baby shower game we played - 5 diapers with different candy bars melted in each one, you guess the candy bars. Looks pretty realistic, huh? But the bad thing is, you really want to taste the candy to figure out what kind it is. No, I didn't! LOL!

always - someone is ALWAYS making a face or not looking in family portraits . . . ! (try clicking on the picture to see close ups, these are fabulous!)

grand - at Ayla's birthday party they made these "Grand Masks" - well, they thought they were grand!

graffiti - I guess I was thinking more of "tag" - the "mark" someone leaves. This is a mural I just finished in the kids' playroom. It's something that identifies me - my artistry, what I love doing, and adding a sense of "play" to a room.

juicy instrument - seriously. have you ever sat near a trombone player during rehearsal? tell me that this isn't the "juiciest" instrument - right after they clear the spit valve near your foot!!! Ewww!

logo - Moxie Java - love that logo!

on the horizon - something new is definitely on the horizon for my sister's life! I'm excited to see what!

Love the photos... Did you ever find creep? That one came fast to me. I never did get juicy instrument. I loved this challenge and may use this idea from time to time to motivate me to journal more. Journaling is my weak area, so thank you for the boost!
